Greatzeus: For the groom to be at the alter on the wedding day,ready to tie the knot,it means he wasn't aware before the wedding day. So how did he get the information and how sure was he that the information was correct,not the work of a jealous person who doesn't want to see the bride get married? Was there a solid unreputable evidence like video or pictures? Anyway it's his life, his choice.
Ask OP maybe he will tell you. See questions from a SIMPle chap.
Diligence: There's a great & deep mystery about HOW WOMEN THINK/REASON.
If truly, they're ruled by emotions, then guz, help your wives, sisters, daughters, nieces, cousins, aunts & mothers; it kinda means their vulnerability is how easily they capitulate to emotions, blackmails, threats, temptations, et al, irrespective of status, religion, education, exposure... Remember Eve, Lot's wife, the 400 women who slept with the Equatorial Guinea randiest man, & finally, millions of women who have fraudulently given other men's children to their husbands to cater for?!??
GUZ; IN ALL EARNESTNESS, LET'S HELP THIS GENDER; they're indeed WEAKER VESSELS!
Keep dreaming in lala land. It seems you never see anything. You will learn by your own experience if you don't profit from other people's experience. Keep being female apologist.
Gistmedia10: Drama unfolded at a wedding ceremony that was supposed to be a day of joy and celebration. A groom reportedly abandoned his bride at the altar after discovering that she had visited her ex-boyfriend just a day before their wedding.
In footage making rounds on social media, the distraught bride can be seen weeping profusely as guests whispered in shock and confusion. Sources close to the couple revealed that the groom confronted the bride after receiving the troubling news from a reliable source, which left him with no choice but to walk away from the ceremony.
Eyewitnesses said the wedding atmosphere turned chaotic, with family members attempting to calm the situation while others sympathized with the devastated bride.
Netizens have been buzzing with mixed reactions to the incident. While some support the groom’s decision to end the relationship, others argue that the situation could have been resolved privately.
Never get marry, e get why? Men don't enjoy in marriage, it's only an illusion the society design to force on men so they can fit in. Now you see this, women are not loyal. Nigeria females are the most useless entities in the world. They are master of manipulation. Marry them at your own peril. As for me, marriage MBA!❌
As per to OP's answer, I use all my breath, all my lungs to say the bridegroom's action IS VERY JUSTIFIED!!!
malali: Afe Babalola, a celebrated Nigerian constitutional lawyer and founder of the prestigious Afe Babalola University, has recently found himself embroiled in controversy. What shocks many is not just his ongoing legal battles but the glaring irony of his philanthropic priorities. With a £10 million endowment to King’s College London to establish the Afe Babalola Centre for Transnational Education, Babalola appears to crave global recognition, even as his educational enterprise in Nigeria charges exorbitant fees that lock out many local students. Is it not crazy, that we are borrowing massive loans from IMF and World bank. But Afe Babalola is giving out 10 million pounds charity to a 1st world country ??
This act smacks of a deeper issue: the self-perpetuating cycle of validation from Western institutions at the expense of one’s own community. While the King’s College center, laudable in its goals, may assist a handful of African students, one cannot ignore the disproportionate impact £10 million could have had if directed to his immediate Nigerian community. From bolstering rural schools to creating scholarships for underprivileged students in Ekiti, the ripple effects of such an investment would be transformative.
Babalola’s case is a microcosm of a larger problem—elite Nigerians who amass wealth locally but seek validation abroad. This narcissistic pursuit of accolades disregards the pressing needs of the communities that made such wealth accumulation possible. Ironically, in the UK, where his name is barely known, the very institution he donated to is now facing public pressure to sever ties over his alleged misuse of influence back home.
Furthermore, the fees charged at Afe Babalola University, often described as one of Nigeria’s most expensive private universities, create an exclusionary barrier for many young Nigerians. It is difficult to reconcile this with his outward claims of empowering African youth. True empowerment starts at home, not with a plaque in a foreign university’s hallway.
As his name is now mired in scandal, with threats of his donations being stripped of their honorific glow, one is left to question: for whom was this philanthropy really intended? Was it to uplift young Africans or to cement a legacy in the West that has little context for his contributions? The answers are as troubling as the narrative itself.
It’s time for Nigeria’s elites to re-evaluate the misplaced priorities of seeking external validation while neglecting local development. Charity, as they say, begins at home.
"Babalola’s case is a microcosm of a larger problem—elite Nigerians who amass (illegal) wealth locally but seek validation abroad."
Emu4u2c: I will reply to the first one Farotimi was the first person to blow this whole thing out of proportion when he published a book against the legal luminary...He highlighted this case thinking he could spoil afe babalola's reputation before the global audience and let me tell you this..more than half of afe babalola's clientele base are foreigners...So he should prove all what he said publicly just as he published his libel publicly
Then let Farotimi prove all the non sense he wrote in his books
idealogical: This picture days a lot about Dele Farotimi, the kind of company he keeps, the low quality of his thoughts and ideology.
They always pander to the toxic crowd.
For the toxic crowd to like you and be your friend, you must hate your own people, you must be able to insult and ridicule your own elders, leaders and traditional rulers.
You mean if we see an alatenuje elders, we should respect that elders? Have you forgotten that wicked and f00lish people grow old too? FYI, not all Yoruba will think like you.
idealogical: I was wondering when the content creator and clout chaser go step in with videographer and cameraman..
See, when these ill-mannered and lawless crowd forming activists spew there insulting, derogatory, defaming and denigrating attacks on other people, their favorite trolls cheer them on, the attention gets to their head, they get even more arrogant, they act as if they are God and untouchable, they claim freedom of speech, they claim human rights while forgetting that the people they insult and defame have rights too
He exercised his rights and the defamed is exercising his own rights too.
These thoughtless and mannerless people forming activists lack emotional intelligence, they cannot constructively engage in any kind of discuss without bullying, defaming, dragging, insulting, abusing and trashing other people.
Thai man is a lawyer, but he spews libelous nonsense carelessly like a roadside jester. They say they want a better Nigeria, when all they want via a lawless and unruly Nigeria where we attack, denigrate, abuse and insult each other without remorse or consequences.
It's about time they start arresting and jailing these mannerless, unruly and lawless thugs forming activists..
Keep supporting evil. What goes around will surely come around. Continue
Melagros: COMRADES, I used to love Babalola until this recent revelation by Farotimi I started hating him, meanwhile, Obi is doing a good job
Almost all Nigerians billionaires are inhuman, selfish and corrupt. Majority of them dine with the government,Nigerians oppressors, I can mention a long list of names but I'll "comment my reserve".
seunjungle1: Uncle Dele really fvcked up. You don't have enough or tangible and clear evidences to fight the person of Afe Babalola in court on the defamatory case you blew out yourself.
Had it been Alafin Oyo, Iku babayeye still alive now, I would have love to usher uncle Dele to the palace to see the king and beg Baba Afe on your behalf, but......
I pray God help you because there's nothing obedient people or uncle Sowore can do on this hot soup you put yourself into.
Is Afe Babalola untouchable? Is he God? Why is the need to beg him? The matter is in the court already. If I were in Dele Farotimi's shoe, I'll rather go to prison than beg Afe Babalola. I know he will do such too. I believe everything Dele said about Afe. He is right. Afe is just one of the big corrupt lawyers we have in Nigeria especially the way they messed up the judiciary. Why do you think Buhari send DSS to arrest some of those judges in 2018? You people are just funny with your comments up here.
epainos: I do not understand everyone's problem, including the useless lawyer who wrote this rubbish. Dele organized a press conference to stand by what he wrote in his book. Do you think Dele will ever beg Afe Babalola? He stated that he is ready to meet him in court, and the process has begun. What the heck is everyone's problem?
Is Afe Babalola a god who cannot be touched? Some people, including well-known lawyers, are clearly undermining our legal system. If Afe Babalola is one of them, he will be disgraced and go to his grave as a bull crap person unless he repents and makes restitution. And if Dele is wrong, let him dance to the music he played. So, what is everyone's problem with being the judge in this matter?
MEGAWATCH: Supporters of the criminal establishment continue.
Keep supporting criminals and their organization and also keep asking God to build Nigeria to a higher level with corruption and crime as her foundation.
You can imagine, one of this two is indirectly involved in the ruckus in court today. You can't hide the truth. Appearance shows the manner they say. Notice the countenance
LegendHero: Yes, anybody can be handcuffed. So all this your long epistle won’t change what’s obtainable in law.
If you pose a threat to the safety of the court, they can handcuff you irrespective of your crime.
I once had respect for you on this forum. Recently I discovered I respected a tribal b!got who is bias in his judgement. People like you can be bought with conscience, and won't make an upright judgement.
Angelfrost: What on Earth are you people talking about?
Show mercy how? On what case? Terrorism or attempted murder?!!
So, if someone accuses me of doing something I clearly never did, it makes sense by law to get him arrested, handcuffed in the same manner as thieves, before being docked?
You mean nations where those wronged sue offenders to court for this same offense don't know how to practice Judiciary law?!!
If it were Ned, Cubana, or Okorocha, would anybody have arrested and handcuffed them like common criminals?!!
What exactly am I missing? Was there a threat to life?!!
I have seen such cases of defamation and libel abroad, it began in court with the wronged suing, then the judge fixes a time for the parties to appear in court... If a guilty verdict is decided, huge fines are imposed.
You only arrest if the offending party fails to appear in court when summoned by a judge.
That was how Eniola Badmus got someone arrested... Burna boy did the same.
This is inconsistent and a clear abuse of power and the Judiciary by those who are wealthy and privileged.
I don't even know Dele Farotimi, and couldn't care about his welfare, but most of you are simply making politics out of every issue, and this won't augur well for the future of this nation.
Let's learn to leave ethnicity and political affiliations when tackling issues that affect key sectors of this nation.
Setting terrible precedents will damage the future of everyone regardless of your political leanings.
UltraSolid: You too should show where it is written that suspects in custody must not be handcuffed. Most of you are one-way people. You want your views/positions to be seen as the right one yet don't want to accept valid positions of others contrary to your own.
Generally, suspects should not be handcuffed but they will be if officers believe there is a need to do so. Such as fear of physical attack.
I really don't know what gives many of you the right to be second guessing what must/must not happen in situations you were not present in and cannot fathom why certain actions were taken. Do you know Dele Farotimi personally to vouch for his conduct in custody? Nonsense.
Can't you people just respect boundaries.
This is for you👇
"Gani Fawehinmi was one of the fiercest supporters of Nuhu Ribadu as Chairman of EFCC over his anti-corruption war. Until former IGP Tafa Balogun was arraigned on corruption charges in 2005, it was like Ribadu and EFCC could do no wrong. However, on the day Tafa appeared in court in handcuffs, Gani was livid. He fired an open letter to Ribadu, deprecating such conduct of the EFCC. The EFCC had to issue a statement that it “deeply regretted” the action. Seeing Dele Farotimi in handcuffs in court, not facing capital offence but alleged cybercrime, is another low for the correctional services. I recall they did same to Agba Jalingo over his ill-fated trial in Calabar. Did that dissuade Jalingo from doing what he is known to do? No. I’m sure Dele Farotimi would have been amused. Some politicians who are facing over N100billion corruption charges were not put on handcuffs but someone facing cybercrime charges. If there is anyone or institution to be embarrassed, it should be those who put Dele in handcuffs. Oh, they forgot to also put him in leg chains. Phew."
sreamsense: It is not right to handcuff, but it is right to spoil somebody name, right? He is actually a lawyer himself, theory is different from practical. He will experience what common man always experience. Quoting laws from now till tomorrow will never solve problem like this, the main thing is for you and all of us to run away from crime or crime related. Bedroom is not the same as Prisonroom. Always soak your gaari with joy and freedom while you keep blowing your grammar online, but never go near crime or its related cousins like spoiling other people's reputation for like and share or for Amazon advert. Proceed from his book may not be enough to cater for his problem.
Britishpea: There are stands that warrant police to cuff a suspect... their safety, if they perceive that they might escape, court can pronounce it, or real criminals.... Dele of course can escape if he has the chance. however, every government has a way to breach the law even in the advanced countries...
well anyone who is bold enough to write the denigrating and implicating book mentioning names without restrain should be ready already for whatever that will happen afterwards... if na u dem write such things against wont you take action even if the writer was right....
as to Afe Babalola we all knew that Obj didnt respect the rule of law during his tenure and they ran thingss...Afe was the legal counsel for the govt and lawyer to obj...so...
Dele should deal with it...there is always a price to pay for being an activist
Afe Babalola now pass the baton to Wole Olanipekun
Cxmanluvs: Wike will never regrets his deals with Asiwaju in 2024 Presidential election. He's Limelight is more than some vice-President (Now former) when they were in government (e.g Sambo & Jonathan)
Wike's chance in this administration will make many other opposition Leaders to trust and have deal with Asiwaju in 2027 for re-election knowing fully well Asiwaju rewards hardworking and loyalty.
2027 is a done deal. The hateful people will wail till 2031 Insha Allah.
Asiwaju teaching their grandfather politics.
What a typical mindset from a Nigerian hailing nefarious activities of polithiefcians because of tribalism. Wike rigged election for Thiefn00bu, Thiefn00bu rewarded him. So you feel that is the right thing that other polithiefcians must follow do. Shior!
So we should fry beans because of this. How will it reduce the suffering of Nigerians. Nigerians and misplaced priorities sha, dem no dey disappoint. By the way, I'm a Yoruba chap, if you like accuse me of tribalism, ẹkún ẹ nìyẹn😂
Saturnalia: My spirit tells me Afe Babalola is a diabolical monster and is 100% guilty of the accusations & allegations leveled against him in that book by Dele Farotimi.
Afe is corrupt. He has idea about top assassination in Nigeria. He is OBJ right hand man, and a cohort.
Prof. Sagay, don't warn him. Let him go ahead with his devilish plans. Clueless and tribalistic Nigerians are loving it. By the way, I don't trust him or the APC Tax Reform Bill. Nothing good can come out from APC (Mark my words for this). APC is a party of fraud. It's also ironic that he's seeking partnership from France, a country many African nations have cut ties with. I fear the Tax bill's implementation will harm Nigerians. When the rich are taxed, they'll just increase prices, indirectly affecting the poor who aren't taxed. It's a vicious cycle.
